The original message could have had the phrase "at the top level" though I thought, obviously incorrectly, that the explicit path to the containing directory would be clear. Click on this link to see the existing file: http://cygwin.get-software.com/md5.sum or this one to see that it is missing: http://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/md5.sum This is the md5.sum file for setup.exe, setup.ini etc. Note that the file mod times are "fresh" in those sites that have it.
